Just out of curiousity, why did you decide to buy a 328 and spend money to mod it rather than buying a higher performance car like a 335?

Tax treatment of the two vehicles is markedly different Down Under due to fuel consumption. I had an N54 engined 135i previously, and while it was ballistic after I tuned it I didn't need that many killer wasps for the price difference.

So for me, fully loaded 328i was 80% of the price of a base 335i.

The change lets me fly to Canada to go skiing in Fernie and visit family in China and Amsterdam

Mate, does your exhaust comes with the electronic valve on one of the outlets?
I also noticed also there are two versions of the tail pipes, one with a thicker sidewall and one with a thin sidewall (like all previous M-performance exhaust).

Thanks! Also, does anyone know how to get it to crackle? I feel like it only does it in certain situations. Like do you have to rev the engine slowly and then let go, or blip the throttle fast and then let go, or is it a combination of the two...I've only noticed it when revving in place in neutral....and not even every time. I have an automatic by the way.

usually when you are in 1st gear and let the revs drops is when that happens. Also when u downshift it also happens.
